#2: Deep Blue at U-M

A 'view' is registered when a researcher goes to the actual item landing page in Deep Blue and does not necessarily mean that a file was downloaded.

'Downloads' are pretty self explanatory, but note that when content is returned in a Google (or other search engine) result, users are often able to directly download the file, and so no 'view' is registered in these cases.

Deep Blue's analytics are also configured to ignore downloads/requests from robots/indexing engines when statistics are compiled.
